I don’t usually bother to make note of the portraiture that I do that isn’t at least a bit artsy or in some way of interest to those other than the people in the photograph. But I’ve decided to make an exception to that rule today.
The first reason for the exception is to give you, my dear reader, potential customer, loyal patron, and adamant word-of-mouther, an idea of the kind of work I do. The style of this photograph is pretty much par for the course in regard to my portrait work. I try to be a little artsy and a little edgy while still producing an image of smiling faces and happiness that any parent, grandparent or close friend would smile in return to see. I tailor the images to the subject and try represent them in a way that I feel they will appreciate and enjoy.
The second reason for today’s exception is that this couple is absolutely beautiful, and I don’t just mean their faces and bodies, though that is true as well. I mean that, as a couple, together, they are beautiful. The way that she looks at him, the way they held each other, the happiness in their eyes, the closeness that was contagious just to be around: all of these things make them so beautiful. Young, loyal, powerful love like theirs is an amazing thing to look at, and even more inspiring to feel radiating from them. Maybe they’ll part ways in a few months, or maybe they’ll see each other well into their 80s. Either way, what they are right this minute is nothing short of incredible.
Seeing such a pure, raw, love reminds me so much of all of the reasons I fell in love with my wife, and all of the reasons that seeing her beautiful face every morning makes me fall in love all over again.
